Viking

10th Cen­tury Viking

There are three lay­ers in this typ­i­cal Viking woman ensem­ble, the under­tu­nic, the tunic, and the apron dress. The under­tu­nic is linen, and the rest is all wool. The tunic fea­tures hand embroi­dered accents along the neck­line and sleeves. The apron dress and the coif are also accented in sim­ple embroi­dery. This apron dress was made to fas­ten at the nip­ples, a more provoca­tive style that may have actu­ally been very pop­u­lar at the time. It also allows the dress to fit more nicely on a slen­der body.
